Chapter 429 A Pretense Becomes Real
Upon seeing this, Xiong Jun immediately roared in fury:
"Qian Renxue, how dare you touch Biji!"
It violently shook off the Golden Crocodile Douluo, its dark golden claws tearing through the air, heading straight for Qian Renxue in mid-air.
Of course, Golden Crocodile Douluo wouldn't let it actually rush over, and immediately blocked it again.
However, Xiong Jun deliberately unleashed an even stronger aura, forcefully repelling Golden Crocodile Douluo and creating the illusion on the battlefield that the Martial Soul Empire's defenses were about to collapse.
Di Tian seized this moment, and the Black Dragon King's true form suddenly accelerated.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me?"
As the dragon's claw descended, Qian Renxue parried with her sword.
boom--!
Di Tian's claw blasted her dozens of feet off the sky. Qian Renxue's six wings flashed with golden light, stabilizing her figure, but a trace of golden blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
Of course, that was divine blood that she deliberately forced out.
From the outside, it looked as if the angel god had truly been injured by Di Tian's claw.
The army of the Martial Soul Empire was immediately thrown into chaos.
"His Majesty is injured!"
"His Majesty the Angel God is injured!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression changed drastically. Almost instinctively, he wanted to rush over, but he quickly realized that this was part of the plan. He could only forcibly suppress the turmoil in his heart and instead roared:
"Hold your ground, troops!"
"Protect His Majesty!"
The Soul Master Legion of the Martial Soul Empire immediately advanced.
In an instant, human soul masters and the tide of soul beasts clashed completely.
Soul skills streaked across the battlefield like meteors, with flames, lightning, frost, poison mist, and wind blades weaving together a magnificent yet terrifying net across the heavens and earth.
The soul beast roared as it charged forward, its massive body smashing through the shield wall.
Soul Masters unleash their Martial Soul True Forms to engage in battle with Soul Beasts.
Every battlefield is like a tragic painting.
Of course, actual deaths were kept to a very low level.
Tang Chuan's Blue Silver Emperor had already been buried in the battlefield's ley lines. All the dying Soul Masters and Soul Beasts would be dragged away from the battlefield by the Blue Silver Emperor's vines at the most critical moment, and their life force would protect their heart meridians.
The Demon King used numerous plant clones to disguise corpses and flesh, making observers in the distance believe that the casualties were heavy. Bi Ji deliberately suppressed her healing radiance, only secretly repairing the wounded.
Qian Renxue also strictly controlled the power of the Angelic Holy Light, seemingly sweeping away a large number of soul beasts, but in reality, it was more about stunning and suppressing them. Di Tian, on the other hand, did not truly unleash the Dragon God Claw, but only used dragon might and ordinary dragon power to create a terrifying momentum.
But the scale of this "fake war" was even larger than that of many real wars.
Because those involved in the acting are all top figures in mainland China.
Qian Renxue and Di Tian fought a fierce battle in the sky.
Golden light and the oppressive power of the black dragon intertwined, shattering the clouds and cracking the sky.
Xiong Jun and Jin E Douluo clashed on the ground.
Each collision created new cracks in the earth. The Crimson King, Purple Princess, Ten Thousand Demon King, and Jade Princess each took action, along with countless soul beasts, turning the entire outer perimeter of the starry sky into a doomsday battlefield.
The entire Hall of the Spirit Empire joined the battle, and the Spirit Master Legion was overwhelming in strength.
Tang Chuan, on the other hand, remained hidden deep within the battlefield.
He stood amidst a colossal Blue Silver Emperor, his aura completely concealed. The Trident of the Sea God was planted in front of him, and blue-gold ripples spread outwards along the earth's veins, silently reinforcing the space.
He did not look up at the earth-shattering divine battle in the sky.
His attention was focused on only one thing.
Rakshasa death energy.
He felt that Tang San would come, and that he definitely would.
boom--!
Above the sky, Qian Renxue was once again forced back by Di Tian's black dragon claw.
This time, the angelic armor on her body was noticeably dimmer, and the six wings on her back were slightly retracted, as if she had consumed a great deal of energy.
Di Tian was also in bad shape. A golden sword mark appeared on the massive black dragon's body, the black dragon's scales shattered, and dragon blood splattered across the sky.
Of course, the dragon blood was just a small amount of essence blood that Di Tian had actively forced out, but in the eyes of the Mirror of Vengeful Souls, the Rakshasa Anchor Point, and the spies from all sides, this scene was enough to prove that both of them were injured.
Xiong Jun's cooperation was extremely exaggerated.
It was "repelled" by the combined efforts of Golden Crocodile Douluo, Qianjun, and Jiangmo, its massive body crashing into the depths of the forest with a painful roar.
One of the Crimson King's three heads was "slashed" by the Azure Phoenix Douluo's wind blade, and its flame aura was noticeably weakened.
Purple Dragon Wings was "frozen" by a corner by Light Feather Douluo's ice arrow, forcing her to retreat.
The vast sea of vines belonging to the Demon King was torn apart by the combined forces of the Offering Hall, and the entire battlefield looked as if humans and soul beasts had gone berserk in the process.
Finally, in the sky above the battlefield, Qian Renxue and Di Tian simultaneously unleashed their strongest attacks.
"Angelic Divine Skill, Holy Judgment!"
"The Black Dragon Will Destroy the World!"
Golden holy light and black dragon breath collided in the center of the sky.
A terrifying sphere of light formed in mid-air.
Then, a loud explosion occurred.
Rumble—!
The entire outer perimeter of the starry sky was engulfed by intense light.
Countless soul beasts and soul masters were blasted away by the shockwave.
The Martial Soul Empire's army retreated several miles.
The Star Soul Beasts also surged back into the forest like a tide.
In the sky, Qian Renxue's figure flew backward and landed on a mountain peak. The Angelic Holy Sword was stuck in the ground, seemingly barely supporting her body.
Di Tian's massive black dragon body also plunged into the depths of the forest, crashing down a large number of ancient trees, and its dragon might was noticeably weakened for a time.
The battlefield seemed to fall into a brief, deathly silence after that attack.
On the surface, the human army suffered heavy losses.
The Starry Sky Beast was severely injured and forced to retreat.
The angel god and the beast god were both severely injured.
Tang Chuan never showed up again.
This is exactly the situation Tang San wanted to see.
In the depths of the distant void, a wisp of extremely faint purplish-black mist quietly emerged.
The fog was very well concealed.
It didn't even approach the battlefield immediately; it merely hovered at a great distance, like a cautious venomous snake, coldly observing the aftermath of this great battle.
Just then, Tang Chuan slowly opened his eyes, his voice barely audible.
"They're here."
But after saying those two words, Tang Chuan did not make a move immediately.
Because that wisp of purplish-black Rakshasa mist did not actually approach the battlefield.
It remained at the edge of a void rift in the far distance, like a venomous snake hidden in the grass, coldly observing the great battle between humans and soul beasts before it.
Tang San did not appear, nor did he even release the undead army.
He was terrifyingly cautious. On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, above the battlefield, Qian Renxue and Di Tian's auras continued to clash violently. The golden angelic light and the black dragon king's oppressive aura repeatedly tore through the clouds, shaking the earth. From afar, it truly looked like an angel god and a beast god were locked in a life-or-death battle.
But Tang San still didn't move.
Deep within the Rakshasa Space, a hidden gaze was fixed intently on the battlefield.
Tang San stood behind the purplish-black rift, holding the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, his eyes dark and cautious.
"It's going too smoothly."
He murmured softly.
"It seems like they did this on purpose for me to see."
He had already learned his lesson once. In the Star Dou Great Forest, he thought he could use the undead army to besiege Xiong Jun and Bi Ji, but Di Tian suddenly made a move and a Dragon God Claw almost destroyed his undead army and also seriously injured him.
Later, he witnessed Tang Chuan and Qian Renxue ceasing hostilities and joining forces.
Tang San wasn't stupid. Since Tang Chuan could persuade Qian Renxue and Di Tian, then this so-called beast tide battle was very likely a trap set up specifically for him.
but……
Tang San was unable to leave completely.
Because this great battle is too tempting.
The origin of the Emperor, the divine blood of Qian Renxue.
The life essence of these ferocious beasts, including Xiong Jun, Bi Ji, Chi Wang, Zi Ji, and Wan Yao Wang.
There are also the souls of the dead created after the great battle between the Soul Master Legion of the Martial Soul Empire and the Star Dou Soul Beasts.
All of this was an irresistible temptation for him, who was attempting the ninth trial of the Rakshasa.
Once he swallows a portion of it, his Rakshasa Divine Armor will truly begin to condense.
If he could devour either Di Tian or Qian Renxue, he might even be able to complete the ninth trial directly.
But precisely because the temptation was so great, Tang San became even more cautious.
"Tang Chuan must be nearby."
"He's definitely waiting for me."
"Qian Renxue and Di Tian are not truly unprepared."
Tang San's eyes flashed with a ghostly green light as he forcibly suppressed the urge to attack immediately.
"wait."
"I'll wait."
"Wait until they are truly injured, truly bloodthirsty, and truly have no energy left to care about me."
"I'll make my move then."
"I'll only make one move."
"Once is enough."
……
Deep within the Star Battlefield.
Tang Chuan naturally noticed Tang San's hesitation. The roots of the Blue Silver Emperor had already spread into the void, faintly catching the location of that wisp of Rakshasa mist.
However, the distance was not enough, and Tang San did not enter the encirclement.
If Tang Chuan makes a move now, Tang San will definitely tear open the Rakshasa Space and escape immediately.
By then, not only will they fail to kill Tang San, but they will also make him fully alert, making it even more difficult to lure him out.
Tang Chuan looked up at Qian Renxue and Di Tian in the sky.
The next instant, his voice reached their ears through the Blue Silver Emperor.
"Tang San is still observing."
"He didn't take the bait."
In mid-air, Qian Renxue unleashed a sword strike, repelling the black dragon claw shadow of Emperor Tian, her golden eyes turning slightly cold.
"They're really cautious."
Di Tianlong's eyes were deep and unfathomable. His dragon wings swept across the ground, and the black dragon wind forced Qian Renxue back dozens of feet.
His voice also came through soul power.
"If it's just acting, it won't fool him."
Tang Chuan remained silent for a moment.
He then said:
"Then let's make this a real show."
Qian Renxue's eyes flickered.
Di Tian chuckled softly.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Tang Chuan's voice was calm and steady:
"Control the area, don't let it affect distant cities, and don't cause mass casualties. But you can really fight among yourselves."
"Only when there is a real clash of divine power, and real injuries, will Tang San believe it."
Qian Renxue did not answer immediately. She simply gripped the Angelic Holy Sword tighter, her eyes shifting from their initial deliberate coldness to a genuine sharpness.
"Emperor Tian".
"If you're going to put on a show, then don't let me down."
Di Tian's enormous black dragon body hovered in the sky, his golden dragon eyes looking down at Qian Renxue.
"Angel God, I hope you're not too fragile either."
The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere between the two changed instantly.
Although the previous encounters were grand in scale, they were all conducted with restraint.
At that moment, both sides increased their strength simultaneously.
Qian Renxue's six wings suddenly unfolded fully, and true divine fire ignited on her angelic armor. The golden holy light was no longer merely suppressive, but transformed into flames of judgment, dyeing the sky a pure gold.
Di Tian roared to the sky, and the Black Dragon King's essence erupted completely.
His massive dragon body no longer merely released pressure, but charged towards Qian Renxue with a true aura of slaughter. The black dragon claws tore through the sky, and the angelic holy sword slashed down to meet him head-on.
boom--!
This strike was more terrifying than any of the previous collisions.
The golden sacred fire and the black dragon power exploded in mid-air, forming a huge energy ring.
The circular impact swept across dozens of miles.
Large swathes of clouds were torn to shreds, and distant mountains were shaken so violently that rocks fell from them.
Qian Renxue staggered backward, only managing to steady herself with a shake of her six wings.
A clear golden sword mark also appeared on the Emperor Heaven Dragon Claw.
This time, it's not fake.
It's a real injury.
Di Tian glanced down at the dragon claw, a fighting spirit flashing in his golden dragon eyes.
"good."
"Angelic power is sharper than I imagined."
Qian Renxue said coldly:
"Your Black Dragon essence is also harder than rumored."
After saying that, she drew her sword again.
"Angelic Divine Skill, Holy Sword Judgment!"
The golden holy sword magnified a thousand feet in the sky, like a divine punishment sword falling from the sun, aimed directly at Emperor Tianlong's head.
Di Tian did not back down.
The Black Dragon King's massive dragon body spiraled upwards, and a ball of black-gold destructive light condensed in its mouth.
"The Black Dragon Will Destroy the World!"
Dragon's breath clashed with the holy sword.
Rumble—!
The sky looked as if a huge rift had been torn open.
The golden and black lights intertwined, transforming into a pillar of energy that shot straight into the sky. At that moment, even cities hundreds of miles away could see the terrifying light rising from the direction of the Starry Sky Forest.
Many members of the Spirit Empire's Soul Master Legion turned pale.
Golden Crocodile Douluo stared intently at the sky, muttering:
"They really hit him..."
He can tell.
This is no longer just a performance.
Qian Renxue and Di Tian truly unleashed god-level power. Although both sides still avoided the most fatal core, a collision of this level could result in serious injury if one was not careful.
On the ground battlefield, the deception has also begun to turn into reality.
Xiong Jun looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo and slowly raised his dark gold claws.
"Old man Golden Crocodile, that fight wasn't very interesting."
"Now, shall we get serious?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo's eye twitched.
However, as the second honorific in the Hall of Offerings, he naturally would not step down.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
The Golden Crocodile King's Martial Soul True Form has been condensed once again.
This time, Xiong Jun did not deliberately hold back. His massive body suddenly charged out, and his dark gold claws fell with a sharpness that could truly tear everything apart.
Golden Crocodile Douluo roared, and the Golden Crocodile King's giant tail swept across, colliding head-on with Bear King.
boom!
He was thrown back more than ten steps, and the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's face turned pale, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
Xiong Jun was also badly hurt; the Golden Crocodile King's heavy blow slammed into its shoulder, leaving a bruise-like mark beneath its dark golden fur.
Xiong Jun grinned.
"That's more like it."
Golden Crocodile Douluo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a hint of ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.
"Again!"
The two powerful figures clashed once again.
This time, every clash was a true collision of power. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw and the Golden Crocodile King tore and rammed against each other, and the roaring sound rolled across the battlefield like thunder.
The Crimson King stopped pretending and simultaneously unleashed real hellfire from its three heads. The flames rolled out and transformed into three crimson fire dragons, forcing the Lion Douluo to retreat repeatedly.
The Lion Douluo roared repeatedly, his golden lion martial spirit was burned until his fur curled up and his armor began to turn red.
"You beast, you really came?"
The three heads of the Red King sneered simultaneously:
"Didn't you say you wanted to use me as a sacrifice for the flag?"
Lion Douluo's face darkened, and he had no choice but to activate his ninth soul skill to meet the attack head-on.
The golden lion and the three-headed red king fought fiercely in the sea of fire, their claw shadows, flames, and soul power constantly exploding, distorting the entire battlefield under the intense heat.
The previous magnificent clash between Qingluan Douluo and Ziji has turned into a real high-speed battle. Qingluan Douluo is extremely fast, and wind blades constantly sweep past the edges of Ziji's dragon wings.
Zi Ji no longer completely dodged; she unleashed a Hell Dragon Breath that grazed Qing Luan Douluo's shoulder.
The Azure Phoenix Douluo groaned, half of his robe was corroded into ash, and a charred wound appeared on his shoulder. But he also seized the opportunity and slashed a blue wind blade at the Purple Dragon Wing.
Purple Dragon's wings trembled, scales flew, and blood splattered in the air.
Her eyes turned cold.
"Human, you're not slow at all."
Azure Phoenix Douluo coldly said:
"Your dragon scales aren't that hard either."
The two transformed into two streaks of blue and purple light once again, colliding wildly at the edge of the sky. The battlefield between the Demon King and the three—Light Feather Douluo, Thousand Pound Douluo, and Demon Subduing Douluo—became even more dangerous.
Previously, the Demon King was mostly creating a spectacle.
Now, it begins to truly mobilize the earth's vein power of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Countless vines grew wildly from the ground, their roots penetrating deep into the earth, drawing life force from the earth's veins, transforming into a veritable plant prison.
The Light Feather Douluo fired an arrow, freezing hundreds of vines. But the next moment, more vines broke through the ice, wrapped around his ankles, and slammed him hard to the ground.
Qianjun Douluo and Jiangmo Douluo attacked simultaneously, their staffs clashing as they smashed the vines and rescued Guangling. However, the attacks of the Demon King were endless, with vines, poisonous thorns, parasitic flowers, and soul-eating roots constantly emerging from the ground, forcing the three elders to fight with all their might.
Brigitte stood at the back, having been controlling the intensity of the healing.
But as the battle truly escalated, she was forced to unleash an even stronger life force.
Emerald-colored light rained down on the battlefield.
The injured soul beast recovered quickly, but she also began to feel the pressure. (End of Chapter)
