At this moment, a faint spirit power fluctuation suddenly appeared in a certain void, it was Tang Hao!
He seemed to have just sensed the spirit power unique to Ah Yin from Xiao Tian's body; there was no way he could be mistaken, but how could this be?!
Tang Hao decided to wait and see.
In the Hall of Offerings behind Pope Mountain, the seven High Priests were gathered. Today was Qian Renxue's first match since her appearance, so they naturally wanted to observe it carefully.
"Big Brother, are you sure you won't appear no matter what happens in the finals these two days?" Qianjun asked.
Qian Daoliu nodded and said, "Yes, none of you are allowed to make a move either. With Bibi Dong and so many Titled Douluo outside, nothing will happen. Back when Tang Chen left alone, he told me not to attack anyone from the Clear Sky Sect, and that incident back then already forced the Clear Sky Sect to seal their mountain gate.
Now, if Tang Hao appears and wants to take Tang San away, we can't force him to stay, unless we are certain Tang Chen is dead. Otherwise, if two more of his direct descendants die, with his strength not inferior to mine, our Spirit Hall's foundation will be destroyed in an instant under such a blow."
"The safest approach is to wait for Qian Renxue to start her Angel God's trial. Once Qian Renxue becomes a god, neither Tang Chen nor anyone else will be a match for our Spirit Hall! What we need to do now is wait; there can't be any risk!"
The six High Priests couldn't help but sigh. They all felt that their Big Brother was good at everything, except his moral standards were too high, and he was overly cautious in his actions.
Tang Chen had been missing for so many years. If he were still alive, the Spirit Hall's pursuit of Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Sect sealing its mountain gate, and the contemporary Sect Master being angered to death should have reached Tang Chen's ears long ago, yet there hadn't been the slightest movement!
While they were discussing, they spiritually sensed that Qian Renxue had used her Martial Soul True Body and Angelic Domain, and her own strength was already approaching that of a Titled Douluo. They all believed that Xiao Tian should lose this time.
Thinking that such a young Spirit Emperor would be able to serve their Spirit Hall in the future, their moods brightened considerably.
However, in the next moment, they actually saw Xiao Tian, as a Spirit Emperor, activate a Spirit True Body, and his aura was in no way weaker than Qian Renxue's.
Jiang Mo: "How is this possible! How can he have a Spirit True Body! Big Brother, have you figured out what's going on?"
Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment and then said, "I just vaguely sensed three spirit powers, not weaker than a Titled Douluo's, emerging from Xiao Tian's body. Xiao Tian used his spirit ring fusion talent to integrate four kinds of spirit power, temporarily raising his strength to the level of a Titled Douluo."
"This isn't a Spirit True Body. After all, when using a Spirit True Body, all physical attributes are boosted, but Xiao Tian is different. This is a Human-Sword Fusion, very similar to a Spirit True Body, but fundamentally different. Human-Sword Fusion allows him to use sword moves more freely and unleash the power of his Spirit to a greater extent."
"No wonder Qian Renxue always wanted to subdue Xiao Tian. Now it seems Xiao Tian indeed has many secrets," Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes, carefully observing Xiao Tian's every move through the distance between the two halls.
Golden Crocodile: "Then, does that mean Xiao Tian is borrowing the power of others? This doesn't comply with the rules of individual combat. He's cheating, isn't he?"
Qian Daoliu, however, said, "No, it doesn't count. Although they are three different spirit power fluctuations, they indeed originated from within Xiao Tian's body and belong to his own power. It's just that I've never seen this kind of power before. Let's wait and see; perhaps he'll give us another surprise."
On the stage.
Qian Renxue gritted her silver teeth, looking at the giant longsword, and chuckled, "As expected of the man I fancy, you always give me surprises! You are indeed very strong, but unfortunately, you don't have a Domain ability!"
Qian Renxue's sixth spirit ring rose: "Angelic Radiance!"
She waved the longsword in her hand at Xiao Tian, and a large amount of sacred energy within the Domain rushed towards Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian chuckled, "Who said I don't have a Domain ability?"
Slow Domain!
Myriad Swords Return to Origin!
The moment the Domain opened, it collided with the Angelic Domain, and the two Domains began to contend for territory on the stage.
And Qian Renxue's sixth Spirit Ability was easily dissolved by Xiao Tian's Myriad Swords Return to Origin.
Before Qian Renxue could react, Xiao Tian pointed his longsword skyward, and a voice came from the sword.
"Nine Heavens Mystic Realm, transform into divine lightning, majestic heavenly might, guided by the sword!"
Suddenly, the world changed color, myriad lightning surged in the sky, and under Xiao Tian's guidance, it rushed towards Qian Renxue!
Not good!
Qian Renxue's face changed drastically. Such terrifying lightning power, even if the Angelic Domain made her form illusory, such a powerful move could not be fully withstood.
At this moment, she had no time to think about when Xiao Tian had acquired Domain power. Her left leg bone burst with light.
Spirit Bone Ability, Angelic Shift!
Qian Renxue dodged the lightning attack at an extremely fast speed, but Xiao Tian wouldn't let him off so easily.
Gravity Domain!
Under the enhancement of the Slow Domain and Gravity Domain, even Qian Renxue felt somewhat overwhelmed. The flow of spirit power within her body was obstructed, and her shifting speed became slower and slower.
Her reaction speed kept up, but her body couldn't.
And it's not over yet, Sky Sword!
Xiao Tian transformed into myriad sword shadows, some carrying Slowness Sword Intent, and some carrying Gravity Sword Intent.
Xiao Tian alone was a sword array!
Under the continuous assault of this sword array, Qian Renxue was finally struck by the heavenly lightning, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.
And Xiao Tian's sword shadows continuously struck her body. Qian Renxue could only condense spirit power as much as possible to block, but every time she was hit by a sword aura, her body would become heavier, and her reaction speed would slow down.
Gradually, Qian Renxue couldn't hold on. Her aura gradually dropped, her Martial Soul True Body completely dispelled, and she fell onto the stage.
Her original golden palace dress and luxurious attire had been cut to shreds by sword auras, and a lot of blood seeped out from the sword marks, gradually soaking her clothes. She looked somewhat disheveled, but her eyes held an unyielding Spirit.
She was too weak to care about the pain in her body; she wanted to know where she had lost.
She went from initial confidence to self-doubt. She couldn't understand why Xiao Tian had so many trump cards.
"Qian Renxue, you lost."
"No, I don't admit it!" Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Tian, who had returned to human form and was slowly walking towards him, and roared hoarsely.
At this moment, she no longer had the goddess-like demeanor she had when she first appeared.
"Why do you have two different Domains? Also, why can you unleash strength comparable to a Titled Douluo?"
Qian Renxue's voice grew softer and softer, unwilling tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall. She looked at Xiao Tian and said, "You don't have to answer any of these questions. I just want to know, in today's match, did you use your full strength?"
Qian Renxue tasted the bitter flavor of defeat for the first time. She lost, very suddenly and very completely.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Xiao Tian smiled, came before Qian Renxue, and gently placed his left hand on her forearm.
Qian Renxue instinctively wanted to retreat warily, but her physical condition was already extremely poor. Being able to stand strong where she was now was already the result of her efforts; once she moved, she would lose that last breath and then fall to the ground.
"What do you want to do..."
Qian Renxue couldn't help but speak. Su Yuntao outside the arena also didn't know what to do. Ju Gui Douluo was about to enter the stage but was stopped by Bibi Dong. She didn't believe Xiao Tian would dare to do anything outrageous to Qian Renxue.
"Nothing."
Xiao Tian winked at Qian Renxue, making a slight joke. Then his palm touched Qian Renxue's smooth, fair forearm, which was stained with blood, and a gentle spirit power flowed into it.
Before Qian Renxue could say anything, she felt the changes in her body. Her injuries were recovering at an extremely fast rate, and also... spirit power!
A light blue halo enveloped the two of them. This was... another Domain!
At this moment, Xiao Tian spoke again, "Now, do you want to hear the truth... or a lie?"
Qian Renxue looked at Xiao Tian, who had a calm and composed expression, felt the pain she had just endured, and his mysterious, powerful strength. Her heart seemed to have been touched by some mysterious force, and it began to beat abnormally.
Qian Renxue frowned. What was going on?
At this moment, Qian Renxue could still retain a trace of rationality, but she didn't notice that a blush was gradually rising on her pale cheeks.
She didn't know if it was shyness caused by the stir in her heart, or if it was her body gradually recovering and bringing color back to her cheeks, or perhaps both...
After Qian Renxue suppressed these emotions, she looked at Xiao Tian with a complex expression: "You don't need to say anything. I know I lost. What are your conditions... Just say it, as long as I can do it."
Xiao Tian was about to say something else when a questioning voice came from the Shrek preparation area.
"Xiao Tian! Where did these three Domain powers on your body come from? These absolutely cannot be your Domains! Not to mention this blue Domain, the two Domains you just displayed were clearly the Gravity Domain and Slow Domain of the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python that we encountered in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Flender and Zhao Wuji's expressions were serious as they said in a deep voice, "That's right, these are the Gravity Domain and Slow Domain. Can you explain why you possess the abilities of two 100,000-year Spirit Beasts?"
At this moment, Tang San looked at Xiao Tian with anger in his eyes: "It was you, Xiao Tian! During the time you disappeared a few months ago, were you at the Blue Silver Ancestral Land in the Star Dou Great Forest? That sword array in the Blue Silver Ancestral Land, no one else but you could have set it up!"
"This Blue Silver Domain belongs exclusively to my mother. Did you instigate her to devour the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline within my body?!"
The sudden questioning from the Shrek people made everyone present sense that things were not simple. Bibi Dong's lips curled slightly, and she did not step forward to stop them.
She also wanted to know what had happened to Xiao Tian. Those were the innate Domains of three 100,000-year Spirit Beasts. Even if Xiao Tian had obtained their 100,000-year Spirit Bones, he couldn't possibly possess these Domain powers.
It must be some other method.
In the void, Tang Hao's eyes were also fixed on Xiao Tian, his face bulging with veins, already in an extremely furious state. If he hadn't known that making a move now would put his son in danger, he would have already acted!
He could never forget this Blue Silver Domain!
Xiao Tian chuckled. When he decided to use these three Domains, he was already prepared to be discovered.
Even if Bibi Dong made a move, he could make her suffer!
He was invincible below the god level, and an even trade above the god level! (Slightly showing off)
"Ah Yin, Da Ming, Er Ming, come out and meet them!" Xiao Tian said softly, and three figures immediately appeared from his spiritual space before everyone: human-form Ah Yin, and Da Ming and Er Ming, scaled down dozens of times, sitting on Xiao Tian's shoulders, exuding an imposing aura!
"Tang San, long time no see." Ah Yin's cold eyes swept over him, then she no longer looked at him, standing half a step behind Xiao Tian.
"No! Mother! Why would you do this! I'm clearly your son! Why would you help Xiao Tian? He took away the person I love, and even instigated you to extract my bloodline!" The moment Tang San saw Ah Yin, even with the mindset of a thirty or forty-year-old adult, he was on the verge of collapse, his face severely distorted.
But Ah Yin merely said indifferently, "You are not my son. Tang Sect, Tang Sect's unique skills, Hidden Weapons, Mysterious Heaven Skill, and so on—don't tell me you comprehended them through your extraordinary talent. If you were my son, why is your personality nothing like mine?"
Tang San's heart sank, and he forced a strained smile: "Mother, what are you talking about? Of course, these are all my self-created Spirit Abilities. As for the establishment of the Tang Sect, I also wanted a stable force to protect my loved ones."
Tang San gave a string of high-sounding reasons, but Ah Yin pretended not to hear.
Yu Xiaogang pulled Tang San and said in a deep voice, "Little San, your mother has been bewitched by Xiao Tian. Whatever you say now is useless. We are currently at a disadvantage, don't be impulsive. Even if your father comes, he won't be a match for Xiao Tian now!"
She wasn't clear by what means Ah Yin had recovered to 100,000 years of cultivation, nor was she clear in what form the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python resided within Xiao Tian's body.
She only knew that Xiao Tian now had three 100,000-year Spirit Beasts by his side; no one present, except for the Spirit Hall, was his match!
Their side had to leverage power!
Listening to Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San calmed down a little, looking at Xiao Tian, Da Ming, and Er Ming with resentment. His Eight Spider Lances Spirit Bone was pulled out by the Titan Giant Ape. Could it be that he pulled out his Spirit Bone because he was following Xiao Tian's instructions?
Xiao Tian was clearly a sword cultivator, yet he was more sinister than him, a killer. This was something he had never expected!
