Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1356: Chapter 1356: Crushing the Skull

Lan Xuanyu’s figure spun around, and his massive dragon tail swept outward. Sword beams came slashing toward him in succession, yet the fierce attacks of the Eight-Armed Demon could only leave whitish marks on his golden dragon scales.

After undergoing Dragon Power Refining, God Destruction Thunder Refining, Light and Dark Divine Thunder Refining, and coupled with the improvement of his cultivation and the perfection of his Dragon God’s bloodline, Lan Xuanyu’s most formidable abilities were not offense but rather defense and self-recovery. These were his true trump cards.

Previously, he had already withstood the onslaught from the Eight-Armed Demon who had just been killed. Now, transformed into the Golden Dragon King, he was even more fearless.

“Boom——” The exceptionally powerful body of the Eight-Armed Demon was sent flying by a single sweep of Lan Xuanyu’s dragon tail, crashing into the distant protective cover before rebounding and tumbling to the ground.

The audience was dead silent. If the earlier scene could be described as the contrast between beauty and the beast—with the weaker beauty facing the daunting Demon King—

Then now, in this very moment, the picture had completely flipped. The ten-meter-tall Eight-Armed Demon seemed like a broken doll compared to the Golden Dragon King, whose body stretched over eighty meters and stood more than thirty meters tall.

When it comes to physical toughness, who could possibly rival the Dragon Clan?

What Lan Xuanyu was doing now felt like he was telling the Eight-Armed Demon before him—who’s your daddy? No, who’s the strongest race in physical prowess across the Dragon Horse Star System?

The Eight-Armed Demon was clearly dazed after the tail sweep. In the next instant, Lan Xuanyu spread his massive dragon wings, and golden light surged explosively, weaving into a terrifying net of golden death in mid-air that swept straight for the Eight-Armed Demon.

Golden Dragon Suppressing Kill!

This was a powerful soul skill granted by Lan Xuanyu’s Golden Dragon King’s sixth soul ring. With the improvement of his cultivation, the power of this skill had increased significantly. The horrifying might erupted to its absolute peak, accompanied by the activation of the Golden Dragon Rage Domain beneath him.

Are you not savage? Not bloodthirsty?

In this instant, the ferocious aura erupting from Lan Xuanyu’s Golden Dragon King form was unquestionably one step above.

“Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom…” A deafening series of explosive roars rang out across the combat arena, the terrifying energy explosions forming an awe-inspiring spectacle.

When the second Eight-Armed Demon stepped onto the stage, most of the audience was apprehensive for Lan Xuanyu. After all, after so many battles already, it could be inferred that his energy consumption would be significant. Moreover, his Dragonlance was no longer present.

Yet no one could have anticipated that this battle, compared to the previous one, would leave no room for even confrontation. It was entirely Lan Xuanyu, transformed into the Golden Dragon King, suppressing the Eight-Armed Demon, battering him as if he were a punching bag.

Having fully provoked the wrath of the Eight-Armed Demon Clan, Lan Xuanyu no longer needed to hold back excessively. He sped up his attacks, aiming to gather more Heavenly Nourishment Crystal Stones. So what if he lacked the Dragonlance? That weapon was never particularly suitable for him anyway. Besides, as a holder of the Dragon God’s bloodline, he was increasingly recognizing the advantages of the Dragon Clan’s physique.

It was only in the state of Martial Soul True Body that his strength truly reached its peak. Besides the Golden Dragon King form before him, he still had his trump card—the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, Dragon God True Body. But, the Dragon God True Body could wait; it was his ace.

The combat prowess of the Eight-Armed Demon was indeed formidable. Even in the overwhelming Golden Dragon Suppressing Kill, the Eight-Armed Demon frantically resisted, yet he was still pushed backward repeatedly like a ragged punching bag. Four of his eight heavy swords were flung away.

“Boom——” The powerful body of the Golden Dragon King collided directly with the Eight-Armed Demon, sending him flying once again.

This impact was incredibly forceful, delivered by Lan Xuanyu using his dragon head. When he struck, it was accompanied by a reverberating Golden Dragon Roar.

When the Eight-Armed Demon slammed against the protective cover behind him, he felt as though his body was about to shatter. As he rebounded, the Divine Demon Core in his chest released a surge of destructive energy. He was about to ignite all his remaining power for a final blow.

But at that moment, his vision suddenly turned blurry. In the next instant, a massive dragon claw descended upon him.

The Divine Demon Core in the Eight-Armed Demon’s chest erupted with destructive energy, causing his rebounding body to pause. The remaining four heavy swords slashed out, aiming for the giant dragon claw.

His entire body was wracked with intense pain; he needed to recover briefly before launching further offensives.

Yet at that very moment, an immense suction force suddenly swept over him. Moreover, a pair of icy-cold eyes appeared beside the dragon claw.

Bai Xiuxiu, who had been preparing all this time, finally made her move at this moment.

Her newly developed Heavenly Demon Swallowing had one fundamental issue—it took too long to prepare. It required ample time to fuse two soul skills into one before being unleashed.

However, once successfully fused, its power was absolutely terrifying.

The enormous devouring force froze everything about the Eight-Armed Demon in place. In the next moment, he had already turned into an ice sculpture.

Heavenly Demon Swallowing could amplify Bai Xiuxiu’s abilities tremendously. Released within its domain, her Deep Blue Stare transformed her gaze into something emanating from the abyss. Even the immensely resistant body of the Eight-Armed Demon could only suffer from being frozen rigid at this point.

The golden dragon claw descended, grabbing the Eight-Armed Demon’s head directly and hoisting him into the air.

Just when everyone thought the battle was over and Lan Xuanyu would simply toss the Eight-Armed Demon out of the arena, a shocking scene unfolded.

Within the golden dragon claw, dazzling light began to radiate. Black-and-white energy erupted explosively in an instant.

“Boom——” The head held within the dragon claw shattered in a single burst. The immense shockwave surged outward, releasing an overwhelmingly brilliant light.

This… this was…

Did he crush the head?

The audience fell silent, even the Eight-Armed Demon Clan was dumbfounded at this moment.

Killed? He actually killed another one?

If the previous battle still involved mutual all-out efforts, leaving no choice but to go all-out, then what they witnessed here was an obvious display of dominance, ruthlessly killing even when victory was assured.

Savage—this wasn’t merely savage. It far surpassed that.

As the brilliant light gradually faded and disappeared, the Eight-Armed Demon left no corpse behind.

Although this explosion wasn’t as violent as the previous one, it was comparable to the earlier instance when the Monocle Rubber Clan member was eradicated.

The tremendous force pushed Lan Xuanyu’s enormous Golden Dragon King form back to the edge of the combat arena. His dragon scales appeared somewhat dimmed, but “she” had unquestionably taken down another Eight-Armed Demon.

The aura of the Eight-Armed Demon King instantly grew heavier and harsher.

At this moment, a voice rang near his ears—the Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang spoke, “On the arena where life and death are unaccounted for, those who kill shall expect to be killed.”

The Eight-Armed Demon King’s energy rippled violently and unstably.

Zhong Zhichang’s meaning was crystal clear: You want to kill ours? Then don’t fault us for retaliating. If you wish death upon my kin, then Lan killing another Eight-Armed Demon is justified.

Lan Xuanyu did not retract his Golden Dragon King form. He crouched against the ground, his massive golden dragon eyes staring icily at the Eight-Armed Demons gathered beyond the curved bounds of the area, as if silently conveying: step forward, and you die!

Having slain two Eight-Armed Demons in succession, the terrifying dominance of this Golden Dragon Princess shook the entire audience.

The oppressive aura lingered in the air. What would they do? This was the question weighing on the Eight-Armed Demon Clan.

Swallow it? How could they? How could they tolerate this? For a race as strong and proud as the Eight-Armed Demon Clan, ranked third in the Dragon Horse Star System, to back down at this pivotal moment—how would they uphold their standing within the system? Who would fear them anymore? The Eight-Armed Demon Clan was now caught in a dilemma, exactly the situation Lan Xuanyu desired.
